Every Boy Should Have a Man: A Novel
by Preston L. Allen&“James Baldwin meets Aldous Huxley&” in this &“highly original&” speculative fable (Chicago Tribune).

One day, a poor boy oaf brings home a man, whom he hides under his bed in the hopes his parents won&’t find out . . . &“Much like Pierre Boulle&’s 1963 novel Planet of the Apes, this novel is a sardonic parable on the nature and destiny of the species. A nimble fable whose bold narrative experiment is elevated by its near-biblical language and affectionate embrace of our inherent flaws.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“An imaginative and honest epic, weaving together biblical stories, fantasy, poetry, and fairy tales with a touch of realism. . . . Allen asks us to question the assumptions, -isms, and contradictions of the modern world. . . . Recalling the humanitarian concerns of Octavia Butler&’s Fledgling and the poetry of Ovid&’s Metamorphosis [sic], this book will appeal to readers of literary fiction and fantasy.&” —Library Journal &“Imaginative, versatile, and daring, Allen raids the realms of myth and fairy tales in this topsy-turvy speculative fable. . . . With canny improvisations on &‘Jack and the Beanstalk,&’ the &‘Epic of Gilgamesh,&’ and Alice in Wonderland, Allen sharpens our perceptions of class divides, racism, enslavement, and abrupt and devastating climate change to create a delectably adventurous, wily, funny, and wise cautionary parable.&” —Booklist &“It is one thing to devise a fable dealing so adroitly with such concepts as racism, war, religion, and the very nature of civilization itself, but Preston&’s true triumph is the infusion of each page and every astonishing episode with palpable emotional resonance.&” —Les Standiford, New York Times–bestselling author of Last Train to Paradise A Chicago Tribune Noteworthy Fiction Pick
